Mary lu-Hiiated. hung her head , fi'lt her
cheeks' reddening with a blush unseen In
tin1 deepening obscurity of the owning
and sighed a gentle :
"Yes. "
Pol-Imp * she lind not long cherished the
hope that some day Undo David would
make such u proposal to her ; possibly
her puKes did not at that very moment
thrill with the triumphant consrioifsness
of achievement ; eertaiul > nothing of thu
port was apparent in her timid , submis-
uive , maidenly manner Inn ilien , it is
very hard to guess nt what a woman
really thinks and feels at such a moment.
It Is altogether probable for Mary had
n warm. alTeetloaato heart , Inclined to bis
sentimental and oven romantic that she
would have liked to hear "lovo" at leant
referred to. But HIO ! wan sensible enough
to understand that it Is not always those
who say "lovo" most glibly who feel It.
most truly. A man like Undo David
does nol marry without the incentive of
love , and whea ho asks a woman to bo
his wife , she will do well to ho satisfied
with his proposal Iti the form ho chooses
to make it.
A serious , reflective silence fell upon
lioth , which , after a few minutes , Uncle
David was the first to break , resuming ,
In a biisiuess-iiko way :
"So much being settled , we may as well
so on with the arrangements for carrying
the agreement into effect. When shall
we be married ? "
The abruptness of that summons to de
cisive action startled her , and she an
Hwcrod , with a little nervous laugh :
"Why , having waited so long , it would
hardly bo becoming for us to be in haste
now. "
"The longer wo have waited , the less
thno we have to waste. It behooves us to
do promptly whatever wo have In view , "
be replied , dogmatically.
CHAPTER XXI.
The upshot of thu matter was that she
proposed Deferring their wedding to thai
Indeterminate date , "the day John am
Hetty marry , " to which Uncle Davh
readily aceeded , with a sly smile , havlm ,
reasons of his own for believing tha
that event would not bo far off.
Hetty's heart would have heen lighter
that .Saturday night could she have shra
cd Uncle David's confidence In the im
mediate future , but the outlook did not
as she viewed it , promise well. Her
mother's opposition , though less bitter
than it had been , was no less determined
and was now settled upon a new ground
from which it seemed impossible to dls
lodge her. She no longer made mucl
of tlie old feud between the Mulvells and
the dimerous , over which she used to
lash herself Into a fury. Now , with a
dramatic intensity of expression that
would have been ludicrous had it not
been so evidently in deep earnest , nho
declared that "the curse of blood" lay
between Hotly and her lover and must
forever keep them apart.
"Whoso blood ? " demanded Hetty ,
when this aHtonndins declaration was
find made to her.
"Simeon Mulvuil't ) , to bu mire. Didn't
John Cameron lure him to his death' . ' "
"Didil't he go to his death like a fool ,
chatting a man he bad no business to fol
low ? " . *
"Yen , be bad hiiHlnrsM. I sent him. "
'
"Oh ! Then , if soiueDody else than
bluuself must be held responsible for his
Jato ? , 1 don't see but what you , mother ,
And not .loliu Cameron , are to blame. "
That was precisely what the widow's
acciiHiii ! ; conscience said to her , notwlth *
utandinc all her endeavors tu persuadu
Lei > elf that not she , but John Cameron ,
Lad caused the constable's death , and it
was naturally exasperating to lind that
view so readily taken by another.
"Or i-iiiifMi , you would try to clear him ,
nnd 1 don't wonder at it , for bj ri hls
you ure as much to blame as he is. If
yon hadn't enticed him to run away with
you , your cousin would never have had
to follow you and been led to his death.
But I'll nol argue with you , Hetty , for
ou have no rifht fouling for your moth
er ; but I tell you , once for all , and you
may as well make up your mind to It , yoi
shall never become the wife of a man who
has the blood of a Mulvell on his head

he is the last man in the world I"
They had KOIIU over that dialogue , will
more or less unimportant variations am
uiodiflcaiions , so many times that i
Koomud an If they were rehearsing some
thlntt they meant to play by and by
when they both were "line perfect. " Ku
they ended it variously ; sometimes one
sometimes the other , nnd jenurally both
became angry. On this particular even

It was n cruel thrum , hut the lrl par
Tied It as well as she could , tossing ho
head with an air of indifference and ai
nwerin ; ; mysteriously :
"That Is as far as you know about It

"Ah ! And n line time he's having |

ulTord to wait. It's an old girl you'

self about you again. You needn't look

"Old MeKarlaiio's coiuin' up the lane ,
cotnln' a-conrtin * mam , " shouted Danny ,
in a sing-song tone , poking ills grinning
face in at the kitchen door.
" ( Jet out , you shameless young villain ! "
cried .Mrs. Mulvell , making a feint of
tliHivving at his head the heavy candle
molds into which -die had just drawn a
set of wicks.
The lad lied , chuckling and humming :
"Comin" a-courtln' mam , " up to his gar-
tot den , as the old lady sprang to her
feet , exclaiming :
"Drat the man ! What does ho want to
come here for ? The Idea ! Come , and do
up my hair , Hetty. I declare , this sunbonnet -
bonnet pulls it every which way. He's a
nuisance ; but ono must be civil to neigh
bors , ( let me a clean collar out of the
ipper bureau drawer. There ! That's
ilni rapping at the front door , now ! Uuu
mil let him in ! "
Hetty admitted Mr. McKarlane , greet-
ng him pleasantly , for she liked the
ilain , unaffected , simple-minded old fcl-
ow who almost worshiped John , and ,
laving seated him in the parlor , returned
to abslst ul her mother's toilet. Tim
widow's tongue ran on as If she felt it
ncumbent upon her to discover sumo rea
son , other than the real one , for her
visitor's coming , hut shu lowered her
tone.
" 1 suppose he's conic to see about fcocil-
ng down the old fallow-field in winter
wheat on shares , this fall. He said some
thing about it the last tlmo he was over. "
"He evidently does not believe in post
poning things until the last moment. "
"Oh , maybe he has made up his mind
to give what I asked for the two-year-old
steers. "
A spirit of mischief , akin to that pos
sessing her brother , suddenly inspired
Hetty to whisper in her mother's ear ,
with an affected Intensity of utterance :
"Danny and I are going to have some
fun with him ! "
The widow's blood ran cold.
"Oh ! " she gasped in horror ; but before
she could find breath to protest against
and sternly forbid all fun with Mr. Me-
Karlane , Hetty had lied , and would not
be summoned back.
Outside the kitchen door , Hetty was
speedily joined by Danny , who glided
down from his loft ns soon as his mother
had gone to receive Mr. McFnrlnuc in
the parlor.
"Say , Hetty , " ho demanded , with an
air of mysterious excitement " '
, "you're go
ing to church to-morrow , ain't you ? "
"No ; I'm not , " she replied curtly. StayIng -
Ing away from church on Communion
Snbbath seemed to her a sort of protest
against fate. And why should she go
to church when John would not be there ?
"Oh ! Hut say , sis ; you'll miss lots of
fun If you don't go only , If you do , you
want to sit near the door. "
"What mischief are you up to now ? "
"Cross your heart you'll never loll ? "
She laughingly made the gesture and
repeated the formula , "Ilope-I-may-nev-
er-s'lielp-me ! " which , in boyish estima
tion , was equivalent to an allldavit , and
Danny , feeling that his secret was safe ,
vent on :
"Me and Sam Itlnglnun "
"Yes always when there's any deviltry
float It's you and Sam Hingham. I won-
or if you two will go to the penitentiary
"Never you mind about that ! 'Taiu't
our put-in ! Jes' listen ! Me and Sam
Jingham have gel the highest kiml of a
lornet's nest out in the- barn.Ve found
t in the \yoods , moro'n two weeks ago ,
nil have been savin' it up. Last night
ve plugged up the mouth of it , cut off the
iinb it was on , ami lining it home. "
"A hornet's nest ! Mercy ! Why don't
on burn the horrid thing at once ? "
"Burn it ? 1 guess neil I haven't had
i mile of fun since I smoked out the
singing school with red pepper on the
stove , and you bet I'm not going to burn
my hoi net's nest when 1 can stir up a
whole community with it. Hum that
lest , with more'u a thousand or a mill-
on lively hornets in it ! Not if I know
uyself ! "
"Well , what are you going to do with
it ? "
"We can crawl under the church , and
we've found a loose board that wo can
shove up under the pulpit. To-morrow
morning , long before anybody else gets
there , we're going to poke the hornet'1 ?
nest up under the pulpit , with a long
string tied to the plug in its month and
carried away outside and hid In the grass ,
so that we can pull out the plug when
we think it's a good time. The lower part
of the pulpit , you know , between its floor
and the floor of the church , is closed in
with criss-crossed laths , with little siiuaro
holes between them , so that when you're
under there you can see out , and if meet-
In' was in , you could see Deacon Hill's
bald head shining like n varnished pump
kin. Well , say. sis , 1 bet when there's
a hornet coming out of every one of those
holes , a good many of them will see noth
ing but that bald head , and think of
nothln' but jabbin' it. They'll be lightiu'
mad , every last one of 'em , and , great
Seott , how they'll make that congregation
get up and dust ! That's why I said you'd
bettor wit near the dour. "
"Oh , Danny , It would be a horribly
wicked thing to do ! Just think how
many folks would bo stung ! Why , It
would break up the meeting ! "
' 'Knock- the meotin' sky high , sure
enough ; but just think what fun it'll be
to see 'em M-ramhlin' and crawlin' to get
out of the doors and windows ; and old
Mr. Mci.eo'd will got his dose , I'll bet !
They'll make him dance worso'n he made
me the time he curled his black-snake
whip around my legs ! "
"You had no right to take his colt out
of the pasture to run races. "
"ttreat Scott , Hetty ! A fellow might
as well die if he Isn't to do anything but
what he has a right to. It's the tilings
you haven't a right to that you get most
fun out of always. "
"If you act up to that , Danny , you will
lie not only a bad hoy. bill a very wicked
iimn when you grow up. "
"Oh , well , 1 don't mean anything seri
ous , you know , but just fun. "
"Turning .those . hornets loose In church
would be very serious and not at all fun
ny for the folks who got stung , and you
must not do It. 1 will not allow It. "
"You won't ! I don't guess you can
stop me. Ain't they my hornets ? Sup
pose I had the idea of making pets of
them and have changed my mind , and be
ing a very kind-hearted boy. I choose to
give the poor Insects their liborty. "
"But not in church. "
"Why not ? Isn't that a good place ?
Isn't Mr. McLeoil just the right man to
tackle them ? The last linn' ho saw me
in church , he preached about Hlijah and
the bears and the boys , and ho looked
Mmm * ut me , as If lie wished he could
feed mo to n bear. But he'd belter go to
training on little things like hornets for
awhile before IIP begins ordering bears
around. "
"If > oij don't give up thi awfully wick
ed Idea , Danny , I'll tell on you and ha\e
It stopped. I really must. I wouldn't
have such a thing on my conscience. "
"Oh ! Indeed ! After you've crossed
yonr heart you wouldn't tell ! A nice. soft.
Ictiilcr , munliy sort ul conscience yon
must have ! Just work it on your own
affairs and lot mine alone. I never did
anything us mean as you have. "
"Why , Danny ! What did I ever do ? "
"You coaxed John Cameron to run off
with you and then wouldn't marry him ,
just to make a fool of him. And it's ou
your account he stays away so long. "
Tlie cruel allegation that it was hci
own fault she was not long since John
Cameron's \vifo all the more hard to
bear for having a spice ol truth in it
auito overcame her. Turning her back
upon the boy , without ropb , she wnlked
out to the front gate and stood leaning
over it. lost in reverie tinged with regret.
Danny ran up to the garret over the par
lor , "to see how Scotchy was getting
along with mam. "
Tlie worthy Mr. Mt-Karlane's getting
along was due to no endeavor of his own.
He simply allowed himself to drift on
the current of conversational circum
stance. Luckily for him , the widow had
no mind to see the bark of his evident
good intentions wrecked for lack of pilot
ing. Love-making may bo either the evolution
lution of impulse or tin- product of art.
The period of youth , when impulse in
spires tlmt elllorescenco of thu inexperi
enced soul , 'Koger had passed through
safely , without a temptation in tlmt di
rection disturbing his .serene devotion to
the acquisition of a competence. And the
engrossing cares and settled habits of his
maturer years had left no place in his
life for cultivation of that alluring but
dangerous branch of art. The methods
of courtship were as unknown to him as
those of the higher mathematics. By cau
tious experiment and rehearsal before his
mirror , lie had learned to assume an ex
pression of countenance that seemed to
him very affectionate , even languishing ,
and , having tried its effect upon thu wid
ow , he Haltered himself thai she had
caught a correct understanding of it.
With the exception of his occasional em
ployment of Unit expression at .stated in
tervals , his visits to Mrs. Mulveil were
as devoid of sentimental demonstration
as were the olllcial calls of the assessor
of taxes.
Seated at a respectful distance from
the buxom widow , Mr. McKarlane talked.
It could not he said that he "kept the
conversational hall rolling. " That phrase
conveys altogether too forceful an idea
Knther his talk flowed mild , persisted !
and a little muddy. Weather , crops , his
farm improvements , and the doctrine of
regeneration jiy grace were his staple
themes , interspersed with casually re
membered fragments of such meager
news of the day as might have come t <
Ills knowledge.
Hetty's reverie was suddenly broken
by an eager clutch upon her arm nm
Danny's voice excitedly whispering it
her ear : ,
"Say , sis ; 1 ain't going to touch off the
congregation with them hornets. "
"I'm irlad you are not. Danny. I lion
ed you would see the wickedness of it
when you came to think. "
"Ob , wickedness nothitf ! It ain't that
But John Cameron will be at church to
morrow , and I don't want him stuug. "
"John will be at church to-morrow
How do you know that ? "
"Just heard old MeFarlane tell mam.
Undo Dave Henderson brought him
homo to-day. That was what made mo
change my mind. "
"And 1'vi- changed my mind , too , Dan
ny ; you dear , good boy. I'll go to church
. ' '
to-morrow.
CHAl'TKU XXII.
Kor the first time in almost half a cen
tury , Mrs. Mulvell looked wiMi suspicion
upon tlie honest face of the tall clock
in the corner of the sitting room. Long
ago. it hud taken to running the lunar
changes in a spasmodic , fantastic and untrammeled -
trammeled fashion pccularl.\ ! own , and
she could hardly remember when it might
be depended upon for the day of the
month , but its approximate reliability as
a timekeeper hud become a matter of
faith with her. This Sunday morning ,
however , its hands pointed to half-past
seven when her feelings , the length of
the shadows and the dew on tlie grass all
told her the hour was not yet more than
half-past live. Happily , she did not sus
pect Danny of having suborned the aged
witness to deceive her. Hetty did , how
ever , gratefully , and furthered his im
patient desires , with which her own were
in harmony , by. proiending unimpaired
confidence- the veracity of the clock and
arguing that it would be better to trust
to it , even if by so doiug they were
brought somewhat early to meeting , rath
er than run the risk of arriving there af
ter everybody else. The result was that
the chores were hurriedly performed ,
breakfast hastily dispatched , and the
widow Mulveil's old "dearborn" was the
llrst vehicle drawn under the maple grove
surrounding the church that communion
Sabbath morn.
But hardly had it taken the choicest
location for hitching near the spring nnd
where the' horses would b > under slmdo
all day when there were more early
comers , and by the time the sexton ap
peared to open the church doors a dozen
families had arrived , among them the
deacons , whose duty it was to set the
communion taldes.
